Greetings, and a special greetings to Archivists, My friend and colleague, Prof. Jacob Labendz, Director of the Gross Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ramapo.edu/holocaust/__;!!KGKeukY!zFw3rBBiH-PI9VfRir2Qih_DDgfXmvRR5_QYG4L6bW68KRykJMnEPBOsyeeDP83Jt5QrYRD1GOu29AgYZHghVB8m9KKKOlseLgFfiC6gUw$ > has a challenge, and would like to work towards a solution. As Director of a local, visible, Jewish academic center, he often gets calls from small Jewish organizations that are about to close--small Holocaust centers, synagogues, etc.--looking for new homes for their books. Jacob is able to take the books (please ask another time about how he handles that!), but often finds that in accepting the boxes, he also receives the organization's papers. As a center director, he lacks information about how to match these organizations with potential archival homes for their own papers. He would like to develop a procedure for handling these queries when he receives them, an efficient way of matching the owners of small collections with appropriate archives. Jacob envisions gathering a small group of archivists to help him with this. If you are able & willing to participate, please contact him: jlabe...@ramapo.edu
